ONSDAG 7 SEPTEMBER, KARLSTAD

Gender Talk Series
Trans Arts of Survival
Drawing on trans archival materials, this talk examines the strategies and tactics that trans communities have developed to resist medical gatekeeping, combat interpersonal and institutional transphobia, and provide mutual aid and collective care to one another.
In a time of intensifying trans antagonism, it offers a lesson in what solidarity and transformative future visions of trans justice have looked like in the hopes that such a lesson might inform current struggles for trans bodily autonomy and just social transformation.
